Hands on, all day everyday, we were involved in all the activities that were going on. With my degree, it set me up extremely well for my future career and I'm very grateful for it. My UQ Bachelor of Physiotherapy, at the moment, they're preparing us very well, for the first three years we're here getting hands on knowledge from all our lecturers and tutors and then our fourth year we have an extensive clinical placement, so that once we graduate, we're very knowledgeable about what techniques to use, and also when to use them.

Going to Mexico as part of a 1-year UQ exchange program was one of my most memorable experience at UQ. I also like the ethnic diversity at UQ. For example, my lecturers are from Chile, China, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain, etc, and they teach us about their own cultures. I really appreciate that I can explore my study in such a multicultural environment.
